[Verse 1:]
I know you spent some time from the town to the city
Lookin' for a life to start
And when you were fifteen I know what you said
"I'll never let another black boy break my heart"

You waited a decade for me to come find you
There's never been a chance so rare
I was just stumbling out on a prosthetic love
And It never been someone so real

[Chorus:]
This was love and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my hands
Love and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my hand

[Verse 2:]
As if it wasn't enough just to hear you speak
They had to give you lips like that
Like all of your sadness reduced to a color
then painted upon you, how could I forget you

And who was I to think that on a Saturday night
That you would really bike home alone
And the way that I left you just hanging on Sundays
Any fair skinned boy'll take you home

[Chorus:]
This was love and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my hands
Love and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my hands

Love and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my hands

Love and I was such a tyrant destroyer
As you sat sinking in my hand
